Internal Backup Units; Optical Drives - Lenovo ThinkServer TD350 Product Manual

M.2 storage options
The TD350 also supports M.2 SSDs as an alternative to SD Cards for booting an operating system. M.2 is an
enterprise class SSD form factor and is more robust than SD card options.
M.2 offers better performance than SD cards and protects data better with features such as:
Capacitor-based power loss protection
Support of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Hardware-based RAID 1 (with two M.2 SSDs installed)
The following table shows the ordering information for the M.2 options.

exclusive with the use of an LTO6 tape drive.
